The number and diversity of invasive exotic species in riparian ecosystems is increasing worldwide. [1] Riparian zones may be particularly vulnerable to invasion due to frequent habitat disturbance (both natural and anthropogenic) and the efficiency of rivers and streams in dispersing propagules.

The economic impacts of invasive species can be difficult to estimate especially when an invasive species does not affect economically important native species. This is partly because of the difficulty in determining the non-use value of native habitats damaged by invasive species and incomplete knowledge of the effects of all of the invasive species present in the U.S. Estimates for the ...

This is a list of invasive species in North America.A species is regarded as invasive if it has been introduced by human action to a location, area, or region where it did not previously occur naturally (i.e., is not a native species), becomes capable of establishing a breeding population in the new location without further intervention by humans, and becomes a pest in the new location ...
In the 1930s, colonies were accidentally introduced into the United States through the seaport of Mobile, Alabama.Despite earlier views that cargo ships from Brazil docking at Mobile unloaded goods infested with the ants, [1] recent DNA research confirmed that the likely source population for all invasive S. invicta in the United States occurred at or near Formosa, Argentina, and virtually ...
Scientists have identified several new marine species in a pristine underwater ecosystem recently discovered in international waters -- and they expect to find more. Modern technology that allows ...
This area has been heavily impacted by humans due to the recent construction of a dam. A map shows where Raoni’s armored catfish has been found in northern Brazil, about 1,900 miles northwest of ...
